Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen horizontalen Bandspeicher, insbesondere für Blechbänder, umfassend einen auf einem Gestell in variablem Abstand zu einer ortsfesten Bandumlenkrolle verfahrbaren Schlingenwagen mit wenigstens einer Umlenkrolle für eine längenveränderliche Band-Vorratsschlaufe und mehreren Stützwagen mit Stützrollen zwischen Bandumlenkrolle und Schlingenwagen, sowie ein endlos um Umlenkrollen geführtes, mit dem Schlingenwagen verbundenes flexibles Antriebselement, das mit einem Antriebsrad jedes Stützwagens zusammenwirkend geführt und von dem der Fahrantrieb eines jeden Stützwagens relativ zum Fahrweg des Schlingenwagens abgeleitet ist.The invention relates to a horizontal belt store, in particular for sheet metal belts, comprising a sling carriage that can be moved on a frame at a variable distance from a stationary belt deflection roller, with at least one deflection roller for a variable-length band storage loop and several support carriages with support rollers between the belt deflection roller and loop carriage, and an endlessly around deflection rollers guided, connected to the sling car, flexible drive element which cooperates with a drive wheel of each support car and from which the drive of each support car relative to the path of the sling car is derived.

Bekanntlich sind Bandspeicher erforderlich, um Walzgerüste in Walzwerken kontinuierlich betreiben zu können, und zwar auch dann, wenn Bandmaterial von Einzelbunden, die vor Einführung in das Walzgerüst miteinander verbunden werden müssen, dem Walzwerk oder Walzgerüst endlos zugeführt und von diesem gewalzt werden soll. Um bei diesem Vorgang eine zeitweilige Verlangsamung der Walzgeschwindigkeit oder gar ein Anhalten der Walzgerüste zu vermeiden, muß ein Bandspeicher, beispielsweise in Form eines Schlingenspeichers oder Schlingenbildners, vorgesehen werden, der in seiner Kapazität derart ausgelegt ist, daß das Band auch dann dem Walzgerüst bzw. Walzwerk kontinuierlich zugeführt werden kann, wenn die einzelnen Bunde vorbereitet bzw. miteinander verschweißt werden müssen.As is known, strip stores are required in order to be able to operate rolling stands in rolling mills continuously, even if strip material from individual coils, which must be connected to one another before being introduced into the rolling stand, is to be fed endlessly to the rolling mill or rolling stand and rolled by the latter. In order to avoid a temporary slowing down of the rolling speed or even a halt of the rolling stands during this process, a strip storage device, for example in the form of a loop storage device or loop forming device, must be provided which has a capacity is designed in such a way that the strip can also be fed continuously to the roll stand or rolling mill when the individual bundles have to be prepared or welded to one another.

Gleiche Überlegungen treffen auch für andere Metallbänder verarbeitende Anlagenteile zu, wie beispielsweise für Beizanlagen oder Glühöfen, die kontinuierlich betrieben werden und bei denen unterschiedlich einlaufende Bandgeschwindigkeiten ausgeglichen werden müssen. Zum Einsatz kommen je nach Platzverhältnissen Schlingentürme, Schlingengruben oder horizontal liegende, vielfach als sogenannte Schlingenzieher bezeichnete Bandspeicher.The same considerations apply to other parts of the system that process metal strips, such as pickling lines or annealing furnaces, which are operated continuously and in which different incoming strip speeds have to be compensated. Depending on the space available, sling towers, sling pits or horizontal band storage devices, often referred to as sling pullers, are used.

Horizontale Bandspeicher sind im allgemeinen dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie einen gegen die Zugkraft des Bandes mit Rückstellkraft beweglich gehaltenen Schlingenwagen und dazwischen mehrere Stützwagen mit Stützrollen aufweisen, die ebenfalls beweglich gelagert sind. Die Rückstellkraft wird über Seile von einer mit Konstantantrieb angetriebenen Seilwinde erzeugt.Horizontal belt stores are generally characterized in that they have a loop carriage which is movable against the tensile force of the belt with restoring force and in between a plurality of support carriages with support rollers which are also movably mounted. The restoring force is generated via ropes by a winch driven by a constant drive.

Aus der DE-OS 1 953 169 ist ein horizontaler Bandspeicher für Bandverarbeitungsanlagen mit Tragrollen zwischen Schlingenwagen und Zuleit- bzw. Ableitrollen bekannt, bei welchem die Trag rollen in einem oder mehreren in Horizontalrichtung beweglichen, sogenannten Nachläufern gelagert sind. Zwischen dem Schlingenwagen und jedem nächstliegenden Nachläufer ist an diesen eine angetriebene Seiltrommel angeordnet, welche ein zugeordnetes Verbindungsseil anspannt. Am Schlingenwagen ist eine endlose Kette mit Mitnehmern für die einzelnen Nachläufer befestigt.From DE-OS 1 953 169 a horizontal tape storage for tape processing systems with support rollers between loop car and feed or discharge rollers is known, in which the support rollers are mounted in one or more horizontally movable, so-called followers. A driven cable drum, which tensions an associated connecting cable, is arranged on the loop carriage and each nearest trailer. An endless chain with carriers for the individual followers is attached to the loop carriage.

Weil bei dieser Anordnung der Schlingenwagen bei seinem Verfahren im Sinne einer Verkürzung der Vorratsschlinge die Nachläufer vor sich herschiebt, kommt der Rückstellkraft über die Seiltrommelantriebe lediglich die Aufgabe zu, die Verbindungsseile gespannt zu halten, so daß die jeweils folgenden Nachläufer erst durch den Schlingenwagen bewegt werden, wenn die Seillängen zwischen diesem und dem jeweils folgenden Nachläufer aufgebraucht sind.Because in this arrangement the sling carriage pushes the follower in front of him in the sense of shortening the storage loop, the restoring force via the cable drum drives only has the task of keeping the connecting cables taut, so that the following sliders are only moved by the loop carriage , when the rope lengths between this and the following successor are used up.

Diese Ausbildung ist nicht in der Lage, einen stoßfreien Betrieb der Nachläuferwagen sicherzustellen, und weiterhin ergibt die Ausbildung jedes Nachläufers mit einer angetriebenen Seilwinde einen hohen technischen Aufwand, wobei für jeden Nachläufer ein eigener Drehmomentmotor mit Stromeinspeisung über eine Schleifleitung oder eine Kabelgirlande vorgesehen werden muß. Die Schleifleitung ist als Gefahrenquelle äußerst nachteilig, und eine Kabelgirlande mit ihren erforderlichen Führungselementen schränkt die Zugänglichkeit zum Bandspeicher stark ein. Im übrigen ist die bekannte Ausführung mit zugehöriger Steuerung sehr kostenintensiv.This training is not able to ensure smooth operation of the trailer cars, and furthermore, the training of each trailer with a driven cable winch results in a high technical outlay, whereby for each trailer a separate torque motor with power supply via a conductor line or a cable garland must be provided. The conductor rail is extremely disadvantageous as a source of danger, and a cable garland with its necessary guide elements severely limits access to the belt store. For the rest, the known version with associated control is very expensive.

Aus der EP-0 110 864 B1 ist ein horizontaler Bandspeicher bekannt, der ebenfalls einen verfahrbaren Schlingenwagen aufweist, an welchen einzelne Stützwagen mit Hilfe von flexiblen, gegen Rückstellkraft ausziehbaren Zuggliedern angekoppelt sind. Diese Zugglieder sollen zumindest bereichsweise elastisch dehnbar und beispielsweise als Gummiseile oder dergleichen ausgebildet und schlingenbildend um Umlenkrollen geführt sein. Diese Ausbildung soll einen stoßfreien Antrieb der Stützwagen vom Schlingenwagen her unter Wahrung eines gleichmäßigen Abstandes der einzelnen Stützwagen voneinander sicherstellen.EP-0 110 864 B1 discloses a horizontal belt store which likewise has a movable loop carriage to which individual support carriages are coupled with the aid of flexible tension members which can be pulled out against the restoring force. These tension members should be elastically stretchable at least in some areas and, for example, be designed as rubber ropes or the like and be looped around deflection rollers. This training is intended to provide a smooth drive for the support car from the loop car while maintaining a uniform distance between the individual support cars ensure from each other.

Von Nachteil ist dabei, daß die flexiblen bzw. elastischen Gummiseile relativ schnell altern und spröde werden und deshalb unkontrolliert schnell verschleißen bzw. reißen können, insbesondere bei Einwirkung von Strahlungswärme. Auch können Gummiseile in der rauhen Walzwerksumgebung leicht verletzt werden, so daß die Gefahr eines schnellen Einreißens oder Bruch der Gummiseile zu befürchten ist.The disadvantage here is that the flexible or elastic rubber ropes age relatively quickly and become brittle and can therefore wear out or tear quickly in an uncontrolled manner, in particular when exposed to radiant heat. Rubber ropes can also be easily damaged in the rough rolling mill environment, so that there is a risk of the rubber ropes tearing quickly or breaking.

Die EP 0 388 708 B1 zeigt einen horizontalen Bandspeicher mit einem verfahrbaren Schlingenwagen, an welchen einzelne Stützwagen mittels eines Seils, einer Kurventrommel und eines Drehmomentmotors angekoppelt sind. Über jede der Kurventrommeln wird der jeweilige Abstand zwischen den Stützwagen erzeugt, wobei ein gleichmäßiges Drehmoment des Motors die Seilverbindungen unter Spannung hält. Nachteilig ist ähnlich der vorgenannten DE-OS 1 953 169 bei diesem Bandspeicher, daß für jeden Stützwagen ein eigener Drehmomentmotor angeordnet und die Stromeinspeisung ebenfalls über eine Schleifleitung oder eine Kabelgirlande vorgesehen sein muß. Hierfür gelten weiterhin die vorgenannten Nachteile.EP 0 388 708 B1 shows a horizontal belt store with a movable loop carriage, to which individual support carriages are coupled by means of a rope, a cam drum and a torque motor. The respective distance between the support carriages is generated via each of the cam drums, with an even torque of the motor keeping the cable connections under tension. A disadvantage of this tape storage device, similar to the aforementioned DE-OS 1 953 169, is that a separate torque motor is arranged for each support carriage and the current feed must also be provided via a conductor line or a cable garland. The aforementioned disadvantages still apply to this.

Aus der AT-PS 299 103 ist ein horizontaler Bandspeicher für Blechbänder mit einem verfahrbaren und vorzugsweise mit konstantem Antriebsmoment im Sinne einer Schlaufenvergrößerung antreibbaren Schlingenwagen und mehreren Stützwagen bekannt, die entlang von Führungsschienen bewegbar sind. Ein endloses, um Umlenkrollen geführtes Seil ist mit dem Schlingenwagen und den Stützwagen verbunden. Von diesem Seil wird über Abnehmerrollen unter Zwischenschaltung von Untersetzungsgetrieben der Amtrieb für die Stützwagen abgeleitet, in der Weise, daß bei einer Bewegung des Schlingenwagens die Stützwagen untereinander einen gleichen Abstand aufweisen.From AT-PS 299 103 a horizontal strip storage for sheet metal strips with a movable and preferably with a constant drive torque in the sense of a loop enlargement driven loop car and several support cars is known, which are movable along guide rails. An endless rope, which is guided around pulleys, is connected to the sling carriage and the support carriage. From this rope, the drive for the support carts is made using take-up rollers with the interposition of reduction gears derived, in such a way that when the sling carriage moves, the support carriages have the same distance from one another.

Bei längerem Betrieb des Bandspeichers kann es nun vorkommen, daß ein Schlupf zwischen dem als Antriebselement verwendeten Seil und den Abnehmerrollen an den Stützwagen auftritt. Dieser Schlupf hat dann zur Folge, daß sich die Abstände zwischen den Stützwagen ändern und untereinander nicht mehr gleich sind. Fallweise führt dies dazu, daß bei einer ungleichen Stellung einzelner Stützwagen diese aufeinanderstoßen bzw. gegen Anschläge fahren oder mit dem Schlingenwagen stoßartig kontaktiert werden. Um dies zu vermeiden, ist jeder Stützwagen mit einer in beiden Richtungen wirkenden, mit einem Hebelgestänge ausgebildeten Rutschkupplung versehen. Nachteilig ist hierbei der erforderliche kinematische Aufwand sowie eine infolge Störanfälligkeit erforderliche öftere Wartung, die dennoch einen wirklich stoßfreien Betrieb nicht garantieren kann.When the tape storage is in operation for a long time, it can happen that a slip occurs between the rope used as the drive element and the take-up rollers on the support carriage. This slip then has the consequence that the distances between the support car change and are no longer the same among each other. In some cases, this leads to the fact that, in the event of an unequal position of individual support carriages, they collide or drive against stops or are abruptly contacted with the loop carriage. In order to avoid this, each support carriage is provided with a slip clutch that acts in both directions and is designed with a lever linkage. Disadvantages here are the required kinematic effort and the need for frequent maintenance as a result of the susceptibility to faults, which, however, cannot guarantee a really smooth operation.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter Vermeidung der vorstehend erörterten Nachteile und Schwierigkeiten einen horizontalen Bandspeicher anzugeben, bei welchem die Verbindungen zwischen den Stützwagen und dem Schlingenwagen für einen störungsfreien und bevorzugt wartungsfreien Betrieb in einfacher Weise ausgebildet sind und die es ermöglichen daß beim Verfahren des Schlingenwagens im Sinne einer Schlingenveränderung die Abstände der Stützwagen stoßfrei veränderlich und untereinander gleichbleibend sind, so daß Voraussetzungen für eine optimale Führung des Bandes auf den Stützrollen der Stützwagen gegeben sind.Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a horizontal tape storage, avoiding the disadvantages and difficulties discussed above, in which the connections between the support carriage and the sling carriage are designed for trouble-free and preferably maintenance-free operation in a simple manner and make it possible that when the sling carriage is moved in the sense of a sling change, the distances between the support carriages can be varied without interruption and remain constant with one another, so that conditions for optimal guidance of the belt on the support rollers of the support carriages are given.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird bei einem Bandspeicher der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen,

  • daß im Bereich des Verfahrensweges der Stützwagen ein zweites flexibles Antriebselement entlang des Gestelles aufgespannt und über ein unteres mit dem Antriebselement zusammenwirkendes Antriebsrad eines jeden Stützwagens geführt ist, und
  • daß das erste Antriebsrad mit dem zweiten Antriebsrad durch ein Getriebe kinematisch verbunden ist.
To achieve the object, the invention proposes in a tape storage device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1,
  • that a second flexible drive element is clamped along the frame in the region of the process path of the support carriage and is guided over a lower drive wheel of each support carriage interacting with the drive element, and
  • that the first drive wheel is kinematically connected to the second drive wheel by a gear.

Mit großem Vorteil ersetzt das untere Antriebselement die beim Stand der Technik vielfach verwendeten motorgetriebenen Seilwinden an den Stützwagen und sorgt selbsttätig für die Ausbildung gleichmäßiger Abstände beim Ein- und Ausfahren des Schlingenwagens bzw. der Vorratsschlaufen.The lower drive element replaces the motor-driven cable winches on the support car, which are often used in the prior art, to great advantage, and automatically ensures the formation of uniform distances when retracting and extending the sling car or storage loops.

Dies wird in unkomplizierter Weise und mit großem Vorteil dadurch erreicht, daß bei einer Fahrbewegung des Schlingenwagens gemeinsam mit dem an ihm befestigten oberen Antriebselement das von diesem umschlungene obere Antriebsrad jedes Stützwagens in Drehbewegung angetrieben wird. Infolge der Getriebeverbindung zwischen dem oberen Antriebsrad und dem unteren Antriebsrad wird letzteres im Verhältnis der Getriebeuntersetzung anteilmäßig mit angetrieben. Weil jedoch das untere Antriebselement ortsfest aufgespannt ist, wird durch das damit zwangsweise im Eingriff befindliche untere Antriebsrad der Stützwagen zu einer relativen Fahrbewegung im Verhältnis der Fahrstrecke des Schlingenwagens zur Fahrstrecke des Stützwagens bewegt, indem das untere Antriebsrad am unteren Antriebselement abrollt.This is achieved in an uncomplicated manner and with great advantage in that when the sling carriage moves, together with the upper drive element fastened to it, the upper drive wheel of each support carriage which is wrapped around it is driven in rotary motion. As a result of the gear connection between the upper drive wheel and the lower drive wheel, the latter is proportionately driven in the ratio of the gear reduction. However, because the lower drive element is fixed in place, the lower drive wheel, which is thereby inevitably engaged, causes the support carriage to move relative to the travel distance of the loop carriage to the travel distance of the support carriage moves by the lower drive wheel rolls on the lower drive element.

Die Getriebeübersetzungen der einzelnen Stützwagen sind so gewählt, daß der jeweilige Abstand zwischen dem Schlingenwagen und der ortsfesten Bandumlenkrolle in immer gleiche Abstände aufgeteilt wird.The gear ratios of the individual support carriages are chosen so that the respective distance between the loop carriage and the stationary belt deflection pulley is always divided into equal distances.

Eine Ausgestaltung sieht vor, daß die flexiblen Antriebselemente ein Keilriemen, eine Zahnkette, eine Rollenkette, eine Gliederkette oder ein Zahmriemen sind. Dabei ist mit großem Vorteil bevorzugt von der Maßnahme Gebrauch gemacht, daß die Antriebselemente Zahnriemen und die mit diesem zusammenwirkenden Antriebsräder als Zahnritzel ausgebildet sind. Auf diese Weise wird ein sicherer, geräuscharmer und schlupffreier Betrieb des Bandspeichers erreicht.One embodiment provides that the flexible drive elements are a V-belt, a toothed chain, a roller chain, a link chain or a timing belt. In this case, use is advantageously made of the measure that the drive elements toothed belts and the drive wheels interacting with them are designed as toothed pinions. In this way, a safe, low-noise and slip-free operation of the tape storage is achieved.

Die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Bandspeichers sind weiterhin darin zu sehen, daß sowohl beim Füllen als auch beim Entleeren des Speichers das Blechband vom den Tragrollen der Stützwagen im jeweils gleichmäßigen Abständen getragen wird, daß keine stoßartige Belastung beim Verfahren des Schlingenwagens auf die Stützwagen übertragen wird, und daß durch den Einsatz der Zahnriemen und der Getriebe ein einfaches, kostengünstiges und zuverlässiges System ausgebildet wird.The advantages of the tape storage device according to the invention are furthermore to be seen in the fact that both during filling and when emptying the storage device, the sheet metal strip is carried by the support rollers of the support carriages at equal intervals, that no impact load is transmitted to the support carriages when the loop carriage is moved, and that a simple, inexpensive and reliable system is formed by using the toothed belt and the gear.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte horizontale Bandspeicher für Blechbänder (1) umfaßt einen auf einem Gestell (2) in variablem Abstand relativ zu einer ortsfesten Bandumlenkrolle (10) verfahrbarem Schlingenwagen (11) mit den Umlenkrollen (12 - 14) für wenigstens eine längenveränderliche Vorratsschlaufe (3) bzw Doppelschlaufe (40, Fig. 3) des Bandes (1), und Stützrollen (15 - 18, Fig. 4, Fig. 5) für das Band (1) aufweisende Stützwagen (19) sowie ein endlos um Umlenkrollen (4, 5) geführtes, mit dem Schlingenwagen (11) verbundenes flexibles Antriebselement (6), das mit einem Amtriebsrad (20) eines jedem Stützwagens (19) zusammenwirkend geführt und von dem der Fahrantrieb jedes Stützwagens (19) abgeleitet ist. Jeder Stützwagen (19) hat mindestens zwei oder mehr Stützrollen (15 - 18), beispielsweise auch vier, sechs oder zehn.The horizontal strip store for sheet metal strips (1) shown in FIG. 1 comprises a loop carriage (11) which can be moved on a frame (2) at a variable distance relative to a fixed strip deflection roller (10) with the deflection rollers (12 - 14) for at least one variable-length supply loop ( 3) or double loop (40, Fig. 3) of the belt (1), and support rollers (15 - 18, Fig. 4, Fig. 5) for the belt (1) having support carriage (19) and an endlessly around deflection rollers (4 , 5) guided flexible drive element (6) which is connected to the sling carriage (11) and which cooperates with a drive wheel (20) of each support carriage (19) and from which the drive of each support carriage (19) is derived. Each support carriage (19) has at least two or more support rollers (15-18), for example also four, six or ten.

Über eine Umlenkrolle (26) wird das zulaufende Band (1) in den horizontalen Bandspeicher eingeführt. Der Schlingenwagen (11) wird mit einer Seilwinde (30) über Seile (32) und zugeordnete Umlenkrollen gegen die Zugkraft der Schlaufe (3) bzw. der Doppelschlaufe (40, Fig. 3) im der dargestellten ausgezogenen Position mit Rückstellkraft gehalten. Das Seil (33) ist dabei an dem dem Schlingenwagen (11) entgegengesetzten Ende des Gestells (2) über eine Umlenkrolle (31) geführt und hat die Aufgabe, den Schlingenwagen (11) in unbelastetem Zustand auf die kürzeste Position zurückzufahren. Das flexible Antriebselement (6) ist über einen am Schlingenwagen (11) angeordneten Anschlag (27) am diesem fest verankert.The incoming band (1) is introduced into the horizontal band store via a deflection roller (26). The sling wagon (11) is held with a winch (30) over ropes (32) and associated deflection rollers against the pulling force of the loop (3) or the double loop (40, Fig. 3) in the illustrated extended position with restoring force. The rope (33) is guided at the end of the frame (2) opposite the loop carriage (11) via a deflection roller (31) and has the task of moving the loop carriage (11) back to the shortest position in the unloaded state. The flexible drive element (6) is firmly anchored to the loop carriage (11) on the loop carriage (11).

Aus einer Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 und 2 ist ersichtlich, daß das Antriebselement (6) am jedem Stützwagen (19) um ein an diesem angeordnetes Antriebsrad (20) herumgeschlungen ist, wobei Umlenkrollen (23, 24) für einen genügend großen Umschlingungswinkel von annähernd 120° sorgen. In Fig. 2 ist im einzelnen dargestellt, daß der Stützwagen (19) auf im Gestell (2) verlegten Schienen (29) mittels Rädern (34) verfahrbar und durch seitliche Führungsräder (35) sicher geführt ist.A summary of FIGS. 1 and 2 shows that the drive element (6) on each support carriage (19) is wrapped around a drive wheel (20) arranged thereon, deflection rollers (23, 24) for a sufficiently large wrap angle of approximately 120 ° worry. In Fig. 2 it is shown in detail that the support carriage (19) on rails (29) laid in the frame (2) can be moved by means of wheels (34) and safely guided by lateral guide wheels (35).

Entsprechend Fig. 1 und 2 ist im Bereich des Verfahrensweges der Stützwagen (19) ein zweites flexibles Antriebselement (7) entlang des Gestelles (2) aufgespannt und über ein unteres mit dem Antriebselement (7) zusammenwirkendes Antriebsrad (21) eines jeden Stützwagens (19) geführt. Das Antriebselement (7) ist am Gestell (2) am jeweils einem Befestigungselement (36, 37) festgelegt. Erfindungsgemäß ist das erste Antriebsrad (20) mit dem zweiten Antriebsrad (21) durch ein Getriebe (22, Fig. 5) kinematisch verbunden.1 and 2, a second flexible drive element (7) is clamped along the frame (2) in the region of the process path of the support carriage (19) and via a lower drive wheel (21) of each support carriage (19) interacting with the drive element (7) ) guided. The drive element (7) is fixed to the frame (2) on one fastening element (36, 37). According to the invention, the first drive wheel (20) kinematically connected to the second drive wheel (21) by a gear (22, FIG. 5).

Grundsätzlich können die flexiblen Antriebselemente (6, 7) ein Keilriemen, eine Zahnkette, eine Rollenkette, eine Gliederkette oder ein Zahnriemen sein. Mit Rücksicht auf das Erfordernis eines schlupflosen Betriebszustandes ist mit der Erfindung bevorzugt vorgesehen, daß die flexiblen Antriebselemente (6, 7) Zahnriemen und die mit diesen zusammenwirkenden Antriebsräder (20, 21) als Zahnritzel ausgebildet sind. Bei der jeweiligen Umschlingung um die Antriebsräder (20, 21) sorgen die Umlenkrollen (23, 24) für einem genügend großem Umschlingungswinkel der Antriebselemente (6, 7) um die Antriebsräder (20, 21).In principle, the flexible drive elements (6, 7) can be a V-belt, a toothed chain, a roller chain, a link chain or a toothed belt. In view of the need for a slip-free operating state, the invention preferably provides that the flexible drive elements (6, 7) toothed belts and the drive wheels (20, 21) interacting with them are designed as toothed pinions. With the respective wrapping around the drive wheels (20, 21), the deflection rollers (23, 24) ensure a sufficiently large wrap angle of the drive elements (6, 7) around the drive wheels (20, 21).

Ein wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die einzelnen Getriebeübersetzungen zwischen dem Antriebsrädern (20, 21) eines jeden Stützwagens (19) so ausgelegt sind, daß der Abstand zwischen dem Schlingenwagen (11) und der ortsfesten Bandumlenkrolle (10) in immer gleiche, vom den Stützwagen (19) gebildete Abstände aufgeteilt wird, wie dies im auseinandergezogenen Zustand des Bandspeichers aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht. Dadurch ist für eine optimale Führung der unterschiedlichem Bandtrums (1a bis 1d, Fig. 3 u. 4) Sorge getragen und gleichzeitig ein stoßfreies Verfahren der Stützwagen (19) sichergestellt.An essential feature of the invention is that the individual gear ratios between the drive wheels (20, 21) of each support carriage (19) are designed so that the distance between the loop carriage (11) and the stationary belt deflection roller (10) is always the same, from the spacing formed by the support carriage (19) is divided, as can be seen in the expanded state of the tape store from FIG. 1. This ensures optimal guidance of the different belt runs (1a to 1d, Fig. 3 and 4) and at the same time ensures a smooth movement of the support carriage (19).

Figur 3 zeigt in Seitenansicht einem Schlingenwagen (11) mit den Band-Umlenkrollen (12 - 14). Der Schlingenwagen (11) ist entsprechend Fig. 2 u. 3 ebenfalls auf den Schienen (29) des Gestells (2) verfahrbar und in der bereits geschilderten Art durch konstante Zugkraft der Winde (30, Fig. 1) mit den Seilen (32) unter Aufbringung einer konstanten Rückstellkraft gegen dem Zug der Seiltrums (1a - 1d) mach Maßgabe der Länge der Doppelschlaufe (40) im Bereich des Fahrweges auf dem Gestell (2) gehalten. Um ein Kippmoment des auf den Rädern (34) entlang der Schiene (29) verfahrbaren Schlingenwagens (11) zu vermeiden, können Führungsräder (35) so ausgebildet sein, daß sie fallweise die Schienenköpfe hintergreifen. Zum Anschlagen und Verspannen des mit dem Schlingenwagen (11) mitlaufenden Antriebselementes (6) sind Anschläge (27) an dessen beiden Seiten vorgesehen.Figure 3 shows a side view of a sling carriage (11) with the belt deflection rollers (12-14). The loop carriage (11) is shown in Fig. 2 u. 3 can also be moved on the rails (29) of the frame (2) and in the manner already described by constant tensile force of the winch (30, Fig. 1) with the ropes (32) by applying a constant restoring force against the pull of the rope runs (1a - 1d) according to the length of the double loop (40) in the area of the travel path on the frame (2). In order to avoid a tipping moment of the loop carriage (11) which can be moved on the wheels (34) along the rail (29), guide wheels (35) can be designed such that they sometimes engage behind the rail heads. Stops (27) are provided on both sides of the drive element (6), which moves with the loop carriage (11), so that it can be attached and braced.

Figur 4 zeigt einem Stützwagen (19) mit den Stützrollen (15 - 18) für die Bandtrums (1a - 1d). Diese sind in einem Stützrahmen (25) im Abstand untereinander angeordnet. Der Stützwagen (19) läuft auf den Rädern (34) und ist von Führungsrädern (35) auf diesen verkantungsfrei und sicher geführt. Die Antriebselemente (6, 7) sind mittels Umlenkrollen (23, 24) um die Antriebsräder (20, 21) mit einem Umschlingungswinkel von annähernd 120° in ständigem schlupflosem Eingriff gehalten.Figure 4 shows a support carriage (19) with the support rollers (15-18) for the belt runs (1a-1d). These are arranged at a distance from one another in a support frame (25). The support carriage (19) runs on the wheels (34) and is guided by guide wheels (35) on these without jamming and safely. The drive elements (6, 7) are held in continuous slip-free engagement by means of deflection rollers (23, 24) around the drive wheels (20, 21) with a wrap angle of approximately 120 °.
